Dragon Striker - Fantasy sports for Disney
Read...

The animated series Dragon Striker is a French production and will arrive on Disney channels in June. Info and trailer below.
A mix of European animation with Japanese influences is the basis of the animated series Dragon Striker, an all-French production by the studios La Chouette Compagnie (Droners, Azuro & the Dragon Brigade) based in Montreuil and Angoulême, in association with Disney Television Animation and with animations produced by the Australians Flying Bark.
In a world where sports and magic combine, farm boy Key discovers his ultrapowerful natural talent and learns he could be the legendary Dragon Striker. Set at Kal Asterock, an elite school for students who possess extraordinary abilities, Key joins goalkeeper Ssyelle on a scrappy new team to challenge the school champions. As he struggles with the raging dragon inside him and Ssyelle fights to hold her team together, they learn dark secrets of the past and uncover an ancient evil.
The co-creator and executive producer is Sylvain Dos Santos (head of La Chouette Compagnie), co-creator with Charles Lefebvre, who also directs the series, and Paul McKeown, head writer. The music is composed by Kevin Penkin (Made in Abyss, Star Wars: Visions) and recorded in Japan with an 80-piece orchestra.
The first 11 22-minute episodes will be broadcast in a special marathon on June 9 on the Disney XD channel and available the following day on the Disney+ and Hulu platforms.
A series of shorts introducing the world of Dragon Striker will be released starting May 13 on the brand's YouTube channel [link].
